Many people underestimate the total costs of commuting. They want a cheaper and/or bigger residence. They think they're a superior driver and/or they'll buy a bigger car for safety. They would never take a salary cut even if it came with a greatly shortened commute. Car operation cost deltas are not included when considering a job or residence.

I would have a very hard time giving that up, and I couldn't even imagine going back to spending 10% of my waking hours stuck in traffic. Life is too short for that.
